Does the joint ticket have a calm, cool, and collected &amp;quot; temper and impulse&amp;quot; [Presidential Temperament]?&lt;br&gt;2. Does each ticket have sound and sustained &amp;quot;Judgment and Caliber&amp;quot;?&lt;br&gt;3. Does each ticket have a &amp;quot;presidential depth and degree&amp;quot; in regard to their purpose, policies, and positions?&lt;br&gt;4. Does each ticket have adequate, &amp;quot;understanding and knowledge&amp;quot; of workings around Washington&amp;quot;?&lt;br&gt;5. Does each ticket have enough &amp;quot;vigor, wisdom and Vision&amp;quot; for the future of our beloved Great-grand Nation? &lt;br&gt;6. Does each ticket possess enough joint foreign policy experience and exposure based on &amp;quot;American Values, Virtues, Vastness, and strong soul&amp;quot;?&lt;br&gt;7. Are their campaign talk, slogans, ads, plans, and programs based on facts and are they free of fear, fiction, frivolous labels, unfair attacks, negativity, and impulsivity? [Danger to country and countries mission[s].&lt;br&gt;8. Does the ticket keep country or politics first? [McCain stole Obama's change and is running with it.]&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As a Independent registered voter I have decided to vote for the Obama-Biden ticket. I am sure they will protect our national security, strengths, stamina and soul as well as rebuild our nation from the bottom up in all areas of need. The OBAMA-BIDEN ticket will restore our global standing with the use of maximum, firm international diplomacy and minimal force if and when indicated.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Yours sincerely,&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;COL.

This nation will not buy into the kitchen sink strategy[ Divide and conquer]. We are getting deeper into internal and external holes through these attacks and the world is laughing at us as they enjoy our partisan Pitt Bull wounds. I am sure the collective deceptive measures of the GOP, RNC, FOX, RUSH, ROVE, McCain, and his surrogates will fail to deprive American voters of their deserved leadership.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description></item><item><title>Obama ad strikes at McCain-Palin</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/09/08/1364411.aspx#1364479</link><pubDate>Mon, 08 Sep 2008 22:20:49 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1364479</guid><dc:creator>tony, NY</dc:creator><description>I'm glad Obama finaly pegged them for the liars that they are.
